Video: Julian Lynch, “Back”

Julian Lynch’s music is complex and sometimes challenging, but it's also comforting. There are general good vibes floating around every song, so even in the one violent moment when the colorful dude smashes his keyboard and the song gives way to just plaintive guitar strumming against an orange sky, everything feels as it should be. That might be one of Lynch's greatest skills, making the alien seem familiar and in its right place, and this video is a pretty good (also weird) reflection of that.
